William Gallas unsure on his Tottenham future
FRENCH defender turns 36 in August and sees his current deal expire at end of the season
Gallas is likely to start against Lyon in the Europa League tomorrow night, with Michael Dawson, Steven Caulker and Jan Vertonghen all vying for a place alongside him.
The former Arsenal man started most of Tottenham’s games in the first half of the season, but has struggled to win his place back following a calf injury.
Villas-Boas, who expects to have Younes Kaboul back to full fitness in two weeks, admits he will have to cut one of his centre-backs loose at the end of the season.
He said: “We won’t start another season with five [centre-backs], for sure.
“It’s a difficult one. We have five top central defenders at the moment — a mixture of young players coming through with lots of experience.
“And then you have such tremendous central defenders as William, Dawson and Younes Kaboul.
“William has been a massive player for us this season. He’s a player we trust a lot.
“Whatever we decide regarding his future, we’ll have to wait and see, but we are aware of what a presence he’s been for us this season.”
